In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions that separates Christianity from Islam — is Jesus truly God, or was He just a prophet? We’ll unpack what the Bible says about the divinity of Jesus, break down the concept of the Trinity, and explore why Christians believe that Jesus is in fact God. We’ll also take an unbiased look at both perspectives, examining the reliability of the Quran and the Bible. ✨Watch the Podcast on YouTube✨ www.youtube.com/@deathtoselfpodcastbyPearl ✨Follow the podcast on TikTok✨ https://www.tiktok.com/@deathtoselfpodcast?_t=8rotqEVc0Nb&_r=1 ✨Follow the podcast on instagram ✨ https://www.instagram.com/deathtoselfpodcast?igsh=MWV1a243cGhxZTRlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr ✨death to self playlist on Spotify ✨ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YZWX13cOazDMzGIrmFQ5s?si=2S6-P19dRZe_bM3qCpt37A&pi=e-N_m0vvPIQR66 ✨death to self playlist on Apple Music ✨ https://music.apple.com/za/playlist/death-to-self-playlist/pl.u-oZylDglIGaXvyMv

Today’s episode features two very special guests—my friends who recently got married. They open up about their journey from friendship to courting, engagement, and now marriage. We dive into the beauty and challenges of navigating marriage in your early 20s—from adjusting to new roles to overcoming struggles while building a Christ-centered foundation together.

Lately, it feels like the world is getting darker by the day. Christians are being persecuted, evil is getting louder, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. In this episode, I just wanted to sit down and talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface—the spiritual layer we often forget is there. This isn’t about fear, but about courage. About choosing to stand boldly for Christ, even when it’s hard. About remembering that our battle isn’t against people, but against spiritual forces we can’t always see. 0:00 – Charlie Kirk’s death and the power in the truth 3:24 – There’s a spiritual layer beneath it all 4:38 – Do not fear persecution 8:41 – Live a life that pleases God 10:42 – Guard your heart ✨Watch the Podcast on YouTube✨ www.youtube.com/@deathtoselfpodcastbyPearl ✨Follow the podcast on TikTok✨ https://www.tiktok.com/@deathtoselfpodcast?_t=8rotqEVc0Nb&_r=1 ✨Follow the podcast on instagram ✨ https://www.instagram.com/deathtoselfpodcast?igsh=MWV1a243cGhxZTRlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr ✨death to self playlist on Spotify ✨ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YZWX13cOazDMzGIrmFQ5s?si=2S6-P19dRZe_bM3qCpt37A&pi=e-N_m0vvPIQR66 ✨death to self playlist on Apple Music ✨ https://music.apple.com/za/playlist/death-to-self-playlist/pl.u-oZylDglIGaXvyMv

The enemy’s greatest attack isn’t always on your finances, career, or relationships — it’s your mind. In this episode, we expose how the enemy uses lies to keep you stuck: making you believe you’re unworthy, unforgivable, or unloved. Once he has your thoughts, you do the job for him. Let’s talk about taking back your mind and walking in the truth and freedom God has already given you.
